A new exhibit curated by Maurizio Guidoni, Vittoria Mainoldi y Mario Martín Pareja.
La Fundación Municipal de Cultura de Valladolid presents the exhibition “Rock the Photo”; a collective show that combines photography and music, two disciplines that have always lived in a permanent symbiosis.
The exhibition includes the mythical and well-known images of 100 myths in the History of rock music through the lenses of 40 best-known photographers and it condenses the vitality of rock and its social impact, but also reveals those moments that music fans never see: unpublished behind-the-scenes photographs; innocent moments of the artists in their youth at the beginning of their careers; backstage images; live or conceptual images; author’s portraits that cross the superficial to enter the soul of the musicians; and interior photos and album covers.
The relationship between photography and rock is the story of a well-matched marriage. In fact, the secret history of rock can be explained through photographs.
The exhibition will be hosted at the Museum of La Pasión in Valladolid, Spain from December 3rd to February 6th, 2022.
